ILizwi Lika Nkulunkulu Lokucina: INdodana Yakhe
1 Kudala uNkulunkulu wakhuluma kubokhokho kanenginengi ngabaphrofethi langezindlela ezehlukeneyo 2 kodwa ngalezizinsuku zokucina ukhulume kithi ngeNdodana yakhe, ayibeka ukuba yindlalifa yezinto zonke, yona adala ngayo izulu lomhlaba. 3 INdodana iyikubenyezela kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu kanye lomfanekiso wokuba nguye kwakhe uqobo, iqinisa izinto zonke ngelizwi layo elilamandla. Emva kokuba isikufezile ukuhlanjululwa kwezono, yahlala phansi esandleni sokunene sobukhosi ezulwini. 4 Ngakho yaba ngaphezu kwezingilosi ngoba ibizo eyalithola njengelifa lilikhulu kulelazo.
INdodana Ingaphezulu Kwezingilosi
5 Ngoba kukuyiphi ingilosi uNkulunkulu ake wathi kuyo:
“Wena uyiNdodana yami;
lamhla sengibe nguYihlo”*?
Kumbe njalo wathi,
“Ngizakuba nguYise,
yona izakuba yiNdodana yami”†?
6 Njalo, lapho uNkulunkulu eletha izibulo lakhe emhlabeni, uthi:
“Zonke izingilosi zikaNkulunkulu kazimkhonze.”‡
7 Lapho ekhuluma ngezingilosi uthi,
“Wenza izingilosi zakhe zibe yimimoya,
izinceku zakhe zibe ngamalangabi omlilo.”§
8 Kodwa ngeNdodana uthi,
“Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Oh Nkulunkulu,
sizakuma nini lanini,
intonga yokwahlulela okulungileyo
izakuba yintonga yombuso wakho.
9 Ukuthandile ukulunga wazonda ububi;
ngakho uNkulunkulu,
uNkulunkulu wakho
usekubeke ngaphezu kwabakhula bakho
ngokukugcoba ngamafutha entokozo.”*
10 Njalo uthi,
“Ekuqaleni, Oh Nkosi, wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba,
lamazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.
11 Kuzabhubha kodwa wena uzasala;
konke kuzaguga njengesigqoko.
12 Uzakugoqa njengesembatho;
kuzantshintshwa njengesigqoko.
Kodwa wena uhlala unjalo,
leminyaka yakho kayiyikuphela.”†
13 Kukuyiphi ingilosi uNkulunkulu ake wathi kuyo:
“Hlala ngakwesokunene sami;
ngize ngenze izitha zakho
zibe yisinyathelo senyawo zakho”‡?
14 Izingilosi kazisimimoya esebenzayo yini, ethunywe ukukhonza labo abazakudla ilifa lokusindiswa na?
